DAY

Satan
Works on a Permit
And
He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold,
I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the
spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are
recorded in heaven.
--Luke 10:18-20
When
one king defeats another king, the subjects of the defeated kingdom become
slaves. Satan conquered the man Adam and became the ruler of the world over which
Adam had been given dominion. Through defeat, man yielded what was his to the enemy. However, when the second Adam,
Jesus, conquered Satan, things above, below, and on the earth became the Son of
God’s. We are in
His Kingdom, and therefore, what is His is ours. This simply means that we do
not have to be controlled by spirits! The believer who does not like a spirit can remember that
in Jesus’ Kingdom he has authority over it. In Africa I met an old woman
who would not call alcohol by that name, choosing instead to call it a spirit. If the spirit of alcohol is
controlling some Christian, it is by his permission. I have known those
that are controlled by the spirit of suicide, and there simply is no excuse for
that when by drawing near to
Christ a believer can simply tell the spirits to leave. Being in His kingdom, what is
His, He has shared with believers. All spirits must now yield to Him. As
I have said before, at the
highest revelation of Jesus there will be no opposition.
I have been asked, “How much power does Satan give his
followers?” None! How can a lesser creature give something to a greater creature? Man is greater, and therefore, all
Satan can give is a lie, which is where he excels. None can argue with the fact of
believers being oppressed, but that occurs when someone believes the enemy’s
lie. Being the father of lies, Satan can visit his children, and so a
received lie actually opens the person up to the demonic world and all manner
of attacks from without, including psychosomatic manifestations. Many have made the mistake of not
recognizing the work of Satan, so as a heavenly disciple, do recognize his work, but more importantly recognize the
work of Jesus that made Satan fall from heaven, and camp at the work of Christ.

I advise to take the time to read slowly and
distinctly, and choose to go with Truth…Jesus.
I like Michael’s term, “camp at the work of
Christ,” don’t you?!?
